I'm glad Dame read this thread and took my advice. Giannis, on the other hand, took it easy against the Wiz and only put up 23. 1. Luka - 1835 in 55 games, 33.36 ppg 2. Embiid - 1650 in 50 games, 33.00 ppg 3. Dame - 1656 in 51 games, 32.47 ppg 4. Giannis - 1621 in 52 games, 31.17 ppg
More interested in this then rooting for Blazers wins. I wonder when Simon's is healthy if Dame keeps up the scoring. Should help his efficiency and reduce fatigue. But probably hurts more having a few less FGA.
Just want to ask one thing. How significant this title would be? So many times I heard this "good player on bad team" stuff. Are you guys trying to turn Dame into Westbrook? Because I am starting to believe that this is now the only real aim of this team this season. We got perfect opportunity to develop Sharpe, but instead we choose Melo's legacy 2.0.
Better question aimed at Dame. I suspect its fairly important. He wants to go down as one of the greatest shooters of all time. however calling him melo2.0 is an insult to Dame. Sorry. He does so much more than just score.
Man...31 drops his average. Embiid knew what was at stake. 1. Luka - 1835 in 55 games, 33.36 ppg 2. Embiid - 1692 in 51 games, 33.18 ppg 3. Dame - 1687 in 52 games, 32.44 ppg 4. Giannis - 1621 in 52 games, 31.17 ppg
By how much, .05? I'm just glad he was in the neighborhood. I have faith in Dame down the stretch and as long as he scores 30+ every game, he'll be in the race. This may even be his low for the month of March..
Joel with 39 tonight. He is going after Luka. With Kyrie on same team, Luka's scoring title is at risk. Dame still has a chance but he needs to go 40 on the regular rest of the way
Doing my work for me--love it! Embiid did just enough to slide ahead of Luka tonight. And since Giannis decided to take the night off, while SGA inches closer to him, why not put him on the leaderboard as well. 1. Embiid - 1731 in 52 games, 33.288 ppg 2. Luka - 1864 in 56 games, 33.286 ppg 3. Dame - 1687 in 52 games, 32.44 ppg 4. Giannis - 1621 in 52 games, 31.17 ppg 5. SGA - 1745 in 56 games, 31.16 ppg
So Dame needs to make up 54 points on Embiid in this final 17 game stretch. Seems doable. He just needs to score 3.2 more points a game to catch him.
